The Horrors of War: Not ( In This Case) Either is a 1815 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This etching shows two men in a rough landscape. One stands, holding a broken tree trunk like a weapon, his face twisted in anger. The other man sits on the ground, slumped over, wearing a hat and a loose coat. The background has a few trees, a fence, and a small boat on the water. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show emotion over detail. The scene feels tense and chaotic, like something from a story about struggle. Next, look up Romanticism to see how this fits into that art movement.
